suppose c and d vary inversely, and d = 2 when c = 17.
a. write an equation that models the variation?
b. find d when c = 68

Respuesta :

Given:
d = 2 
c = 17
a) 
Inverse equation is like this:

c = k/d

where k is the constant value.

17 = k/2
17 * 2 = k
34 = k

b) 

c = k/d
c*d = k
d = k/c
d = 34/68
d = 0.5

The value of d is 0.50

To check:

c = k/d
c = 34 / 0.5
c = 68

a. Inversely proportional is an equation with two variables a and b such that when the value of a increases value of b decreases and vise versa. The inverse equation for the given question is [tex]c=\dfrac{k}{d}[/tex]

b. The value of the d is 2312 units when c is 68 units.

Given-

c and d vary inversely where d is 2 units and c is 17 units.

[tex]c\propto \dfrac{1}{d}[/tex]

Part A

Equation that models the variation:

To convert this proportion into an equation, multiply by a constant k  and find the value of constant.

[tex]c=\dfrac{k}{d}[/tex]

This is the required equation, now solving further for the value of constant k,

[tex]c\times d=k[/tex]

[tex]k=c\times d[/tex]

[tex]k=17\times 2[/tex]

[tex]k=34[/tex]

Part B

Value of d when the value of c is 68 units.

By the inverse equation,

[tex]c=\dfrac{k}{d}[/tex]

[tex]68=\dfrac{34}{d}[/tex]

[tex]d=68\times 34[/tex]

[tex]d=2312[/tex]

Hence, the value of the d is 2312 units when c is 68 units.
